I'm going to be moving our main PCs to a part of the house where wireless will be very poor.
I am going to run a cable from that area to the router/modem and wondered if anyone could advise if adding a switch to the other end would allow me to connect more than one PC or do I need another router?
This would save me running more than one cable to the router?
I'm not really that fussed about internal network speed as its not really used that way that often and my internet is only 8meg (well closer to 6) so what would be the best suggestion for a low budget approach to this?
Basically, 2 (sometimes 3) PCs connecting mainly to the internet and the odd connection by iPod and possibly WDTV Live which will probably be fine with wireless.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
